The Congress party has launched a sharp attack on the Narendra Modi government's economic management, calling for a 'radical reset' in policymaking. In a statement, Congress General Secretary (Communications) Jairam Ramesh accused Prime Minister Modi of being 'busy distributing toffees' instead of addressing serious economic challenges.
Economic Sentiment at a Low Point
Ramesh asserted that the sentiment surrounding the Indian economy has taken a significant downturn. He pointed out that even the Modi government's 'professional cheerleaders' have begun to publicly express their concerns about the state of the economy. This, he argued, is a clear indicator of the depth of the crisis.
Call for a Radical Reset
The Congress leader emphasized the need for a fundamental shift in economic policy. He stated that the current approach has failed to deliver results and that a comprehensive overhaul is necessary to restore confidence and drive growth. The party has urged the government to listen to the growing chorus of criticism and take corrective measures.
Ramesh's comments come amid ongoing debates about India's economic performance, with critics pointing to issues such as unemployment, inflation, and slowing growth. The Congress party has consistently pressed the government on these matters, demanding greater accountability and more effective policies.
The statement reflects the deepening political divide over economic strategy, with the opposition calling for urgent action to address what it sees as a worsening situation.
